Wow. I swear I reread the post like 5 times looking for that info. Thanks.
Maybe try entering the password during that 1.5 minutes?
My thought process is that maybe it does print a prompt, but it does so while the boot process messages are going, and so the prompt just kindof gets lost somewhere in the scrollback buffer. But since it is (or rather if it is) waiting for input, it might work fine if you just enter the password and hit enter.
If as you type, it doesn't echo what you're typing, I'd say that's at least a bit of evidence that my hunch is right.
If that doesn't do it for you, maybe share what distro you're using, as well as the contents of your /etc/crypttab.
Fresh, new installation, or did home partition mounting work at one time?
I'm not sure what else I can say about it. Bluesky is a shareholder-owned company started by Jack Dorsey, one of Twitter's co-founders. Current CEO of Bluesky has promised not to "enshittify" Bluesky with ads, but there's nothing really holding them to that. There's no federation, yet. Well, there is, but not the kind that makes platforms like Mastodon and Lemmy decentralized. That kind will require at best a lot of work and funding. There's no guarantee it'll happen. And no guarantee of interoperability with the Fediverse.
At any time, they could decide they've locked people in well enough that they can change all the rules and fuck over the users without any negative reparcussions to them. Just like Reddit and Facebook and every other platform that has enshittified lately. They could flood Bluesky with ads, sell your data, align politically with fascists, sell to Twitter, just straight shut down, or any number of evil things that leave their users with the choice to quit the platform and lose all their connections or grit their teeth and bear it.
On the Fediverse, if you don't like something about your instance, you can switch instances and mostly still have contact with all the same content and other people. (For instance, on Mastodon, you can switch instances and keep your followers. The first Lemmy instance I joined shut down permanently, so I switched to Lemmy.World with basically no problems whatsoever.)
Far be it from me to tell anyone what they should/shouldn't boycott or even do in general. And I get that not everyone has the luxury of boycotting an alternative that happens to be cheaper. But...
As an American, I definitely believe that pressure from outside our borders helps. If you're able and willing to boycott us, please do.

Democrats don't bend rules, no matter what the stakes. If there's any chance of avoiding human extinction, it'll only be by the left breaking rules. But what evidence is there to make anyone think the Democrats are capable of even using the rules to the extent they can without bending them? (Rhetorical question. There's none.)
Came here to say basically the same thing. There are books I want to have read even if I don't necessarily want to have to slog through them. And for at least some of those books, the "want to have read" wins out over the "don't want to slog".
Most games were never made to be modded. The communities are hacking mods into these games, many of which were even designed to make modding harder. (Because mods compete against sequels or something? I dunno. Intellectual property is a mental illness.) It's not terribly surprising that games that weren't meant to be modded have confusingly inconsistent methods for loading mods. Because those mods work fundamentally differently from game to game. If a mod happens to be easy-ish to install, chances are it's either quite a simple mod (a model/texture replacement or some such, or just something that's not terribly hard to mod) or a lot of work has been put into making it easier.

We all know about the linear_extrude(...) function that turns 2d things into 3d things.
I sometimes have found myself wishing for a similar function which could make a more rounded, result.
Just to illustrate what I'm hoping to achieve, my dream solution would, given this 2d outline:
would give me something like the following:
Just to further illustrate, the code I used to generate outline above:
hull() {
for (i=[-1:1])
translate([i*15, 0])
circle(d=10);
}
And the "pillowed" version that shows the desired result giving the above outline:
$fn=64;
rotate([0, 90, 0])
linear_extrude(30, center=true)
scale([4, 10])
difference() {
circle(d=1);
translate([0.5, 0])
square(1, center=true);
}
for (i = [-1, 1])
translate([i*15, 0, 0])
scale([10, 10, 4])
difference() {
sphere(d=1);
translate([0, 0, -0.5])
cube(1, center=true);
}
The outline I actually want to pillow for my particular current use case looks like this:
(Credit to this person on Printables for the Talavera tile pattern.)
I'm hoping there's a way to do this I'm not thinking of, or a library I'm not familiar with. The example above makes an elliptical curve, but I'm not married to elliptical in particular. Anything somewhat similar would be fine.
Thanks in advance for any help!
